As far as you talking to someone and feeling it is their job and they are paid to invade you somehow. Well, often people who do that job do it because they care and they want to help. They are people who specialize in opening closet doors very carefully and slowly turn the light on. And not only that, they are trained to look and make sure the monsters or whatever is in that closet are organized so that the person feels safer.

Having just anyone, someone who is not trained, someone who has no experience to open that door would not be good. So those people are very careful and kind and they want to do that job, they are trained to be strong enough to do that job.
They don't want to invade you, they want to help you.

As far as being afraid of yourself, well all that means is that you do know that you don't like what is in that closet and you are just afraid to even think of that door opening. A therapist does now this, and they will help you with this.
